Find out in this report how the two Data Integration solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI."I like Alteryx Designer's drag-and-drop feature, where you drag a component, configure it and quickly run it."
"One of the things I like about Alteryx Designer is how easy it is to connect numerous data inputs, including API connectors. This helps tremendously in reducing the time required to extract data from systems like SAP that don't have straightforward connectivity options."
"I believe in the ability to connect to multiple data sources, as well as the ease of use to transform data and output data in a variety of formats."
"The product is very stable. The performance is reliable."
"The features I found most valuable are the preparation features – the Join and the Transform."
"When you open a raw Excel file, it can be hard to look at everything in detail. Alteryx makes it much easier to go through the data, summarize it, and use different tools for analysis."
"The product offers very good analytics."
"I like Alteryx's browser tool because you can view how your data is handled live. There are many other valuable tools like transpose and the crosstab. You can quickly pivot your data, and there are connections throughout the database. It's so easy to create a connection. If you connect to sign apps or a more complex database, the tool contains all the tools you need."
"Talend can connect to multiple data sources, including relational data sources, ERP, CRM, and others."
"It is user-friendly and the interface is good."
"We have contacted their technical support. They are great. They offer very professional help. If I need some technical answer, they are very professional. They are quick, professional, and very accurate."
"The most valuable features are definitely data integration, data preparation, and data stewardship."
"Talend Open Studio is easy to create jobs. We use the basic functionality and it is very good."
"It is easy to use and covers most of the functions needed. We can use the code without any extra effort. The open source is very good. They have the same commercials with additional connectors. The graphical design environment is also very easy."
"A very user friendly solution."
"The product's initial setup phase was easy."
"The actual usage part of it needs to be explained more. It's too vague right now."
"Alteryx Designer overall should be easier to use."
"Alteryx's data science and machine learning capabilities are where it loses out to DataIQ."
"It is challenging to view the data using Alteryx Designer."
"If the price were reduced then it would be more competitive."
"Its price can be improved. It is too expensive for our country. Because of its high price, we can't sell Alteryx Designer in this region. We used to be their reseller partner. There is also an additional cost for automating the data and running the flows, which makes it even more expensive. It will be very good if they can let users automate the data for free. Other solutions like Tableau provide this feature for free."
"The major concern in Alteryx Designer stems from the high costs attached to the product."
"Based on my experience, the tool could be improved by providing sample reports or pre-configured workflows tailored to specific industries, like finance. It needs to integrate an AI chatbot as well."
"I think my biggest problem with the tool is that the errors are very hard to debug."
"The product could be more intuitive."
"The technical support and documentation need a lot of work to come up to standard."
"We need more components to be more efficient. We use a lot of components, such as Salesforce, and it's not easy to use. There's are minor bugs and it's not easy to use some of the features."
"Multiple products are there within the product suite. That can be actually trimmed down."
"The documentation is lacking within the product. They need to get better at all aspects of describing how it works and how to use it."
"When faced with a challenge, such as the necessity to link up with an unconventional data source like the legacy Cyprus Vision database that wasn't inherently supported by Talend, I had to resort to writing Python code to establish the connection."
"The security features could be improved."
